Chapter 85 I'm Taking Someone with Me (2)

Ye Mu’s words made the corner of Ye Li’s mouth once again tighten. He withdrew his hand back and conspicuously placed it behind his back.

“The country that the Qi family rules over—half of it should have been mine! But if they refuse to give it to me, then I can only seize it from them.”

After he finished speaking, he looked down from above, his face filled with an almost iron-blooded coldness.

After a long time, Ye Mu ultimately made up her mind. “I understand. Father, I will definitely help you.”

And this time, she was serious! Regardless of who it was, since she had interfered in the chaos of the Yue country, she must make it come to an early end!

On the other side, Mo Linyuan was sitting on a swing in a vast courtyard, listening to his subordinates’ detailed report on what had happened in the Mo country during his absence. He had changed out of his slave’s clothes into pure, white clothes. He was dressed in a rare brocade the color of moonlight and his head was adorned with a silver crown. He looked like an immortal child that had fallen into the mortal world.

A subordinate couldn’t help but add, “His Highness was kidnapped for a few months and the situation in the court has only gotten more tense by the day. His Highness has to go back and take charge of the situation!”

Mo Linyuan knew clearly the dire need for him to return back, but…

“There’s no rush.” Mo Linyuan frowned, “I want to take someone with me, but to take her with me is an extremely troublesome process. Therefore, I’ve decided to support someone to make things easier. This is something I’m serious about.”

The person kneeling on the ground widened his eyes when he heard this.

Who needed the crown prince to muster such a large force?

He anxiously replied, “But this is a matter of the Yue country, our participation is no less than igniting a fire…”

Mo Linyuan smiled. “Not at all. I asked you to investigate that person called Yan Xu. Did you manage to find anything?”

“Not yet…but I believe there will be news soon.”

Mo Linyuan ignored their hesitant gazes as he kept his thoughts to himself.

“Then there’s no rush.” He smiled, “The person I want is here, so no matter how chaotic the Yue country is, I only want to stay here!”

A few days later, the general’s manor was in mourning. At the same time, the atmosphere in the residence had become heavy. Ye Li had used the treasures in the old courtyard and was preparing for huge battle!

Ye Mu felt that it was very obvious that the fastest way to calm the chaos was to let Ye Li successfully ascend the dragon throne. After all, no matter who became emperor, that person’s position would probably be unstable with Ye Li still alive in the flesh. Moreover, she didn’t even have to use her hand with someone as powerful as Ye Li by her side.

Why does she still have to sacrifice her safety?

Furthermore, as long as Yan Xu didn’t pay her any attention, then he would not have any chance to turn the tables on the battlefield. And if Mo Linyuan was really able to obtain the Forbidden Army Map, then Ye Li could force his way to the imperial palace with absolute certainty.

Therefore, since the chances of Ye Li succeeding were so high, what was there for her to hesitate? And as for Yan Xu…she could only apologize.

Seeing that he was also unwilling to return to her, she had no other choice but to let him be. In any case, she knew that Official Liu had been drugged and Mo Linyuan’s subordinates had returned to his side. It was safer for him to stay in that official’s estate than to stay in here in the treacherous general’s residence.

Ye Tian had come to look for trouble with her several times, and due to the ugly matter with Wen Ru, the Prime Minister’s estate had already begun to show signs of breaking away from the General’s residence.

However, the Prime Minister kept the affair of whether or not the Concubine Rou was pregnant very tight-lipped; Ye Li had no way of finding out, so he delayed his plans and waited for the best opportunity to make a move.

Until one day, a banquet was thrown in the imperial palace, inviting all unmarried ladies of aristocratic families in the city.
